Greatest Boxer Past his prime: Shane Mosley

[hammerhiem]

Did'nt you?

I think Shane Mosley is undoubtedly the best boxer in boxing right now who is past his prime yet still looking sharp.

personally when your past your prime its time to go, unfortunatly Ali proved that as its literally, very very bad for your health. Best boxer past his prime, Oscar. He can draw and make the biggest fights, still

If you are going to quote someone, quote their entire sentance.

bernard hopkins without a doubt is the best boxer past his prime.

he's 44 for God sake.

What i actually said was that when your past your best you should go, theres never a good boxer past his prime. But Oscar makes the big fights still, bar against Pacman where he was weight drained (ever heard of another fighter that loses weight between the weigh in and the fight?) he still has glimpses of his best and seems to bring the best out of all other fighters, so thats why i consider him a good fighter past his prime. He brings attention to the sport for the right reasons and gets more people involved, which in an era of MMA is very important and not usually associated with a boxer past his prime (Tyson being the worst example)

So in other words...you're saying Mosley is not a good boxer past his prime and De La Hoya is more important in the sport right now than Mosley?

I have clearly stated i DON'T think Mosley is even past his prime yet! Age is just a number in this sport in the modern era

No. Don't take a few of my words and then disregard the rest. That's misleading and untruthful. Here is what I said:

Hopkins is...but no doubt Mosley is second.

[xfiles]

I didn't say he's the best boxer at the moment [although that is my personal opinion]. I said he's the best boxer past his prime at the moment. Can you name anyone better that is past his prime?

Uhh BHop,

[Jim Jeffries]

Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Vitali Klitschko, Glen Johnson, Winky Wright (maybe) deserve a mention. Definitely an impressive performance by Shane last night, much better than against Mayorga, and he looks better at WW.

[Don Corleone]

Hopkins is a good pick as one of the greatest past his prime and you can compare them and their last opponents. Ultimately, you can break it down and come to the conclusion that either one is the greatest past their prime but my personal opinion would be Mosley considering he has knocked out his last two opponents who both happen to be top name guys. Coincidentally, Hopkins and Mosley are very good friends...I can't say anything bad about Hopkins either because he's one of my favourites too but they're doing exceptionally well. Both fighters are in top shape considering their age...
